We started by rapport building with local community and creating coordination with those groups or institutions which had a vital role in molding & shaping society trends. It was the first step in creating a secure environment, to protect street living / working children from Physical and Emotional abuse. To achieve this goal, extensive field visits and coordination meetings were held in GBSA and near by locality to sensitize people on child issues faced by Street Working / Living Children especially the runaways, who have no one to protect them from abusers and exploiters.
Though, it is difficult to imagine that any person would intentionally inflict any harm on street living / working child. But most of the time, excessive discipline or physical punishment that is inappropriate for the child's age, results in physical & emotional abuse. Hotel owners, Workshop owners, Shopkeepers, Drivers, Employers may be unaware of the magnitude of force with which they strikes or punish a child. Due to immaturity of elders, their unrealistic expectations from children, and at times their own negative childhood experience, social isolation, frequent family crises and drug or alcohol problems contribute to this inhuman act. This unreasonable, severe corporal punishment or unjustifiable punishment results in a non-accidental trauma or physical injury, when they in frustration or anger punch, beat, kick, burn or harm a child.
